That diagram is incorrect as well. It's lame and shitty. It doesn't even show a snug and it doesn't differentiate between a helix and a forward helix.

Ok, seeing as you want to try and tell THE ENTIRE PROFESSIONAL PIERCING INDUSTRY THAT THEY ARE WRONG... A daith piercing is a term coined for a piercing in a very specific part of the ear anatomy. In medical terms that part would be called the Crus of the Helix, or simply Helix Crus.

The definition of a Helix Crus is a transverse ridge that continues from the Helix and back to the ear canal, commonly agreed to begin once the helix passes the Crura of the Antihelix (or in piercing terms, the rook ridge).

Now would you like a diagram of medical definitions of an ear... It just so happens i have one:

You see that transverse ridge clearly labelled Crus of Helix... THAT is where a daith piercing resides, and it can be anywhere on that ridge up to the Crura of the Antihelix.

Now how about you sit back and have a nice big cup of SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Haha asif I missed it too, and I was brought in as 'some chick' to be used as an example. Getting sick of this argument over my daith as to if it is a daith/forward helix. Darren's clearly explained and proven a few times what it is, and yet people are just too dumb to read properly!
